"Jim Jarmusch makes bizarre, minimalist and simpatico road movies,
with characters on the edge of pop culture discovering a poetically
shabby America. We see the land through the eyes of foreigners,
unspoiled but prejudiced by American myths." Three separate but
interwoven episodes centered in a rundown Memphis hotel reveal the
experiences of non-Americans in America. Two young Japanese lovers
travel through town on a rock 'n roll pilgrimage, a newly widowed
Italian woman waits for a flight back to Rome while she is visited by
the ghost of Elvis, a British man makes some friends, gets drunk and
commits murder. "There is no real mystery in Mystery Train. It makes
it points on Elvis-worship, restlessness and race relations out front.
But there is a mystery about its construction. The leisurely,
distancing pace works beautifully" (Edwin Jahiel). 1990, 110 mins.
